Notts school "requires improvement"

A Nottinghamshire school has been told it “requires improvement” after inspectors found the quality of teaching varied too much.

Sherwood Junior School in Warsop (pictured) was inspected by Ofsted in January, and was judged to “require improvement” in its quality of teaching and outcomes for pupils.

The school’s leadership and personal development of the pupils were both judged to be of a “good” standard.

Head teacher Helen Atkins told the Post she was pleased that inspectors noted the schools strengths, such as how well children are cared for.

She said: “Sherwood Junior School has had a difficult couple of years since the last inspection, but is now rapidly moving back in the right direction.“We now have a fantastic staff and incredibly supportive parents, both of whom are committed to ensuring the children at Sherwood have the very best education possible.

“We recognise that there is still work to be done, and we have already started to plan and refine our work in order to secure these improvements.”
